Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Network architect and consultant Ed Taylor has condensed all of the information he's found useful over the years into this book. While his guide is intended for serious techies, it does tackle introductory as well as advanced topics in a just-the-facts manner.
Taylor goes through the entirety of TCP/IP systematically, explaining all the systems, components, and applications in clear, if sometimes terse, prose. The text is richly enhanced by a wide variety of charts, diagrams, and illustrations, making the information easy for beginning and intermediate users to follow. Taylor pushes for a holistic approach to network management, urging his readers to keep an eye on the long-term consequences of their choices rather than just the short-term results. The companion CD-ROM provides a searchable database of TCP/IP-related Request for Comments (RFC) documents, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS) supplements, and information on the year 2000 problem. -- Elizabeth Lewis

1.0 out of 5 stars
Poorly written, badly organized, weak and superficial.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tcp/Ip Complete (Complete Series) (Paperback)
The title promises a lot and the previous book in the "Complete" series (Complete Perl) was a really good book. Here it's not the case. Instead of complete coverage you get a complete disaster -- a lot of pages to cover very little and I found most explanations confusing. A lot of small errors. No routing coverage -- an interesting understanding of the word "complete". CD is a joke -- it contains some disorganized materials from the author hard drives and was created in an hour or so -- it contains assorted connection of RFCs some named using numbers (e.g. RFC9999 and some renamed e.g. DHCP.txt) without any search engine... I am amazed that McGraw Hill editorial staff showed such a disrespect for customers including such a CD. BTW Ed Taylor managed to publish a dozen of books on the subject...

Was this book written as quickly as possible?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tcp/Ip Complete (Complete Series) (Paperback)
I have to agree with the previous reviews. I got this book (thankfully, from the library), in order to get a better understanding of how TCP/IP is structured and works. The book largely consists of quick descriptions of the many frames and fields used by the protocol. That would be okay except there are inconsistencies between the names of frames and fields given in the text and names shown on the diagrams. Very confusing and frustrating. Worse, there is hardly any context provided for how the frames are used and why they are important. Consistency, along with clear explanations and examples of how the frames and fields are used (and not used) to route data packets would have been greatly appreciated. My assessment is this book provides a superficial and error-ridden discussion of TCP/IP.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Poorly arranged, bad examples, errors,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tcp/Ip Complete (Complete Series) (Paperback)
I find a book that is published on TCP/IP in 1998 totaly absurd if it does not even mention the world wide web or http protocol/applications. If I buy a book on TCP/IP I expect it to contain information that is up to date. This book went on many side roads on such things as electrical requirements for a network room? I didn't find the book useful for me as a network consultant.
